Animus Distillery Macedon Dry Gin 700ml

Originally designed as a homage to the best London Dry Gins, Animus's Macedon Dry took on a life of its own when lemon myrtle and mountain pepperberry were added to the rich, juniper-led base. These Australian natives add a subtle, citrus and piquant edge, while dialling up the aromatic complexity. You don't have to look hard to find the freshness provided by the ingredients harvested from the distillery's Gin garden. These botanicals also add brightness and intensity. Classic juniper, sappy freshness and spice running through the smooth, deep texture. The cream always rises to the top and this has the depth, complexity and balance of an Australian classic.

Animus Distillery Davidsonia Gin 2021 500ml

Davidsonia is Animus Distillery's delicious riff on a traditional English Sloe Gin. Instead of sloes (Prunus spinosa), the distillers work with native Australian Davidsonia pruriens, a tropical sour plum sourced from the temperate regions of Queensland. 
As a seasonal, produce-driven Gin, each vintage of Davidsonia has its own personality, and the 2021 is both the most stylish and delicate so far. This year's release is rife with bright and aromatic top notes of ripe plum, lemon and rosehip, while the palate is full of lip-smacking zing, morello cherry and hints of guava. 

Animus Distillery Arboretum Gin 700ml

Arboretum takes savoury to a new level. This complex and herbaceous Gin does exactly what it says on the bottle, hitting the drinker with a wonderful array of sappy, resinous and spicy notes that derive from a range of distillery garden grown Australian ingredients, as well as some classic Gin botanicals. Fresh strawberry gum leaf is used for its delicate floral and menthol hints. There's native bush tomato with its distinctive tamarillo notes. Rosemary and bay leaf build on the herbaceous depth, while orange (both zest and flesh) is included to round out the palate. Underneath it all, notes of bold juniper, coriander seed and citrus remind you you're drinking a Gin after all, and an incredibly bold and precise one at that.

Animus Distillery Ananas Gin 2021 500ml

"Everything is bigger, bolder, richer, and ultimately better." is how Luke Jacques describes the new bottling. It's an explosive, vibrant and multi-layered modern Gin unlike anything else on the market. Animus recommend a partnering with elderflower tonic garnished with fresh fruit and leaves such as kaffir, lemon verbena and lemon balm. Otherwise, it has the texture and balance to be sipped over ice, and also the intensity to stand up to coconut in cocktails. As you might expect, fresh pineapple accounts for the lion's share of the botanical load, with ginger, turmeric and galangal brought in for a spicy counterpoint to the fruit's sweet aromatics. For complexity there's kaffir lime, pineapple sage, lemon verbena, lemon myrtle and lemon balm--all picked and prepared on the day of production--and ground sesame seeds to enhance the Gin's oily, textural mouthfeel.

Animus Distillery Ambrosian Gin 700ml

This is Animus's ode to Australia's love affair with South East Asian flavours. It's a zesty, spicy, Gin that has an effortless, almost fluffy texture across the palate. There are bright, tangy notes thanks to fresh mandarin, lime and young kaffir lime leaf. The punchy, fresh ginger and galangal bring rooty intensity and earthy, spicy notes, while the inclusion of white sesame seeds adds to the body and leaves a nutty hint on the finish.
